Story

Many players have wondered how Apogee would follow the success of Wolfenstein 3D. The answer is "Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold"! Wolf3D took you into the past; thrust into a world at war. Blake rockets you into the future where a sinister madman, using genetics to create an army of bizarre creatures, is waging war on Earth. Blake has more of everything! More action, more enemies, more levels, more firepower, more graphics, more animation, more pitfalls and many more features. Like built-in auto-mapping, so you never have to worry about getting lost in the game.

Blake Stone is just out to earn his paycheck, much like you or I. Only Blake, a hero if there ever was one, earns his wages with a laser rifle. This time, he's out to stop the evil plans of one Dr. Pyrus Goldfire, a madman bent on world dominance. Blake is up against an veritable army of Goldfire's mutant troops, and only YOU can help him win the day. If you liked Wolfenstein 3D, you'll love Blake Stone!
